Pre is just as fast….this site did not load as fast as my brothers iPhone 3GS….cmon do not put this out and not test it on your own site, that is as weak as the results you posted. Same processor essentially….The bigger issue is no SDK for developers….No Apps means no fun….also where are the games for the Pre, I love it but it is missing some basic apps out of the gate.

Where is the video proof, no video, it did not happen.

Because nobody can wait an extra 2 seconds for something to load. Whatever.

Why, what's the difference if they did? So they come out earlier, update later? Should Apple have waited a year until the app store was ready? I mean, what's with the logic of people like you? It seems Apple fans will say anything to discredit anything non-apple.

Apple is great, yea we get it, how did you like those G4s, years of it being faster then Intel based machine? Oh right, it wasn't, but you all thought it was. Now you all have Intel, and 'NOW' it makes sense.

That's because AT&T and Apple allowed for preordering this year. That's the only reason for shorter lines. They are selling more phones than last year. Palm pre didn't made a dent.

What I find most astounding are the application load times and boot times for the Palm Pre v. iPhone 3G with half the HW performance. Palm really should have had waited until after the summer to release the Pre with refinements and with a public SDK.

Number of Palm Pre users who are actually complaining about that device's speed: zero.

The iPhone 3GS is 11% faster than the Palm Pre. I wouldn't say that is significant. If something takes 10 secs to load on the iPhone 3GS, then it takes 11 secs on the Palm Pre. Wow!

This test shows the Pre to be faster.

Funny how the Palm Pre beat the living crap out of the 3GS on the CNET webloading preview. They used a slightly more data intensive website and it destroyed the 3GS by over 10 seconds.

Just watch the video at CNET and see for yourself.

The webpage load times were over wifi and not network. The Pre will likely be faster over Sprint's CDMA EV-DO Rev-A network until AT&T launches their faster HSPA 7.2 Mbps network upgrade.

Comparing the speeds of the next generation Android phone - Magic - given away as the Ion at Google IO last month - the speeds are similar to that of the iPhone 3GS.

This phone will come out in the US in the next month as the myTouch 3G.

Ha ha! Nice try but you are wrong. Math isn't your best subject, is it?

Anandtech did a great job doing this test. Unlike the amateurs around the net. The truth is the iPhone 3GS *is* faster than the Pre.

For the poster that said the lines were shorter this year, your completely clueless. The very reason Apple and AT&T allowed pre-orders and home activation and pickup is to prevent the 4 hours of waiting for users to buy it and activate it at the store. Sales are already in the hundreds of thousands for online orders alone. Silly.
